You would be wrong.
If you had ever made a NICS call you would know that NICS will ask the dealer "Type of firearm?" as indicated on Question 18.
As I stated above, you buy fifty handguns NICS is only told about ONE.

NICS isn't allowed to delay responses to a certain date. Since today is Tuesday, February 26th, a firearm with a delayed response may be transferred to the buyer on Saturday, March 2nd. See page 218 of this document:
http://www.atf.gov/publications/down...f-p-5300-4.pdf
NICS is only allowed to give an APPROVED, DELAYED, or DENIED response, not a "Delayed until xxx date" response:
Again, you would be wrong.
If you had ever made a NICS call you would know that NICS will tell the dealer: "This transaction will be delayed while NICS conducts additional research, the Brady Law does not prohibit the transfer of the firearm on XX/XX/XXXX".
The dealer then records that date in the space provided on Question 21c of the Form 4473. (that date BTW is called an MDI or Missing Disposition Information date)
The date given by FBI NICS to me yesterday was March 5th. Why don't you call them and tell them they cannot do that.

Wrong. You must be in a weird timezone. Read page 218 of
http://www.atf.gov/publications/down...f-p-5300-4.pdf
like I posted. Today is Tuesday, February 26th in the USA. The three business days are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The gun can be transferred on Saturday, March 2nd, if the gun store is open on Saturday.
Still wrong.
The dealer is not prohibited from transferring the firearm on TUESDAY MARCH 5th.
AND THE FBI WILL TELL HIM SO
Whether the dealer is open on Saturday or Sunday makes no difference because the business days used are those used by the FBI and would include any STATE holiday as well.....if your state has a holiday on Monday? Then add one more day to that "three day delay".
heeler Dogtown Tom...No,he did not buy the pistol nor did he put a deposit on it.
When he asked if he could take it home that day(classic case of thinking there was a waiting period because of some crime drama television series) the store sales guy told him there could be a wait as long as March 5.
The dealer IS CORRECT..........if the buyer would have been delayed then he would have to wait to receive the gun. And that would be true of ANY delayed transaction, at any dealer, anywhere in the USA.
HOOfan_1 ....Longer delay than needed, charging over MSRP...tell your co-worker's husband to find a new gun shop
He would face the same situation at any gun store in the country......get delayed and you'll wait for the three business days or for NICS to update to a "proceed".
